Hey everyone, friendly neighborhood mod here with a quick question. As this community starts to take shape what are you looking for in it? What kind of things would you like to see posted? What would you not like to see posted?
You must log in or # to comment.
What games people like, what games are coming out, including the game pass. Maybe gameplay of unreleased content only.
Xbox news, reviews of games, rumors, discussions of games. As for what I don’t want to see…too much wish fulfillment and nostalgia bait? Repeated posts of “remember this” or “I wish they would release a new game for x”. That has its place certainly, but I don’t want this community to be primarily that.
+1
Put it rather succinctly. I hope this community grows.
Personally I would like to see this become what the xboxseriesx subreddit is right now.
That sub has great moderation and meaningful discussion in most comment sections.
That is where I came from as well. Hopefully we can get to that level. Our user levels are slowly building up, we just need more people to interact and post now.
I don’t interact much with Reddit but plan to do a lot here to help it grow :).
Someone needs to leave that first comment on posts to spark a conversation.
Exactly! And hopefully as more people see interactions they’ll interact more themselves.

Agreed.
How can we contain console war garbage? That would be my biggest suggestion. Right now Reddit PS5/XboxSeriesX subs are basically millions of people pretending they are totally above and too mature to participate in console war nonsense, yet the only posts that gain any traction in a meaningful way are Xbox Vs. Sony posts. Maybe find a balance where major ongoing topics are contained to a weekly thread. So there is a weekly game performance thread, weekly Microsoft/Activision merger thread. Something like that. Otherwise this is just going to be Reddit again in short order.
Lemmy PS5 mod here. Console warring is not allowed over on lemmy.ml/c/ps5. I’ve had a stray comment or 2 about starfield vs final fantasy, but the community voted it down so I didn’t intervene. If it gets bad I will not hesitate to take action. We are all gamers, and we should all be celebrating gaming. Personally I play on PS5, Switch, and PC/steam deck.
As for the merger news, articles are allowed to be posted on my community as long as they are playstation related. I think making a discussion thread dedicated to the mergers will have the opposite effect and will cause more issues. As @[email protected] has mentioned below, the Xbox, Nintendo, and PS5 mods are all friendly and are working to foster great console gaming communities across Lemmy.
Love to see it! Thanks for the update brother. Much appreciated. I think you all are doing a pretty damn good job thus far.
Thanks! I’m trying. We may not catch everything, so if you see content that you don’t like or that is violating the community rules, use that report button to bring it to our attention. As of yet, I’ve had zero reports but I’m sure as we grow there will be issues that arise.
If there is actually a large influx of people I expect you all will become real busy real quick, haha.
😂 hopefully only the nice people come. We don’t need everyone from reddit over here.
Also, I personally think that most people considering Lemmy from the reddit ordeal are likely already over here to some degree. We might not see many more users, but possibly more activity as reddit won’t be an outlet for many anymore. I could be wrong though, only 3 more days until we find out.
Well, I do NOT have a Xbox. I am mainly interested in Xbox because it’s one of the main gaming companies, and because they have Bethesda exclusive games. I plan to get one if Starfield doesn’t come over to PS5, so want to have general idea of ecosystem and how things are going.
So, as long as I am concerned, I would love to see news and discussions related to Xbox. There doesn’t need to be every single of piece of news ever, but I would like to see at least most major news.
That’s a great attitude! I’ve been meaning to reach out to you for some cross community love. How are things going in the Nintendo community?
Things are going great. People here at lemmy are pretty cool, so it’s fun to run the community.
It’s also nice to see this community growing and getting active, you are most welcome to reach me anytime you want.
The people on Lemmy are so nice compared to some of the larger forums I’ve been on, I hope it continues that way as it grows.
How long have you and your community been active on Lemmy?
Yeah, that’s what I like about it. People here are much nicer. Let’s hope it stays that way.
As for me, I just started after the reddit fiasco. I had another account on lemmy.ml a long time ago, to test things, but never really used it.
I joined lemmy.world when join-lemmy/instance showed it had 3 users/month. Wanted to join a smaller instance to spread the federation of lemmy, and not put all load on main instance (Heh, the irony!). Joined (you had to apply for joining back then), and created the community as soon as my account was approved.
Funny thing is, the start of the community was pretty much same as the Xbox community. I only made it because search didn’t result any Nintendo community, and by the time I realised about the sync issues and global search, it was already more active than the one on lemmy.ml, so just continued with it.
